Clearing a River Blockage on the M9 in Scotland

When the unexpected happens, you can count on Buckhurst to respond, even in the toughest of conditions.

During a nighttime road closure on the M9 in Scotland, our team received an urgent call-out request to remove a fallen tree that had blocked a nearby river.

Our local and reliable team at our Bathgate depot arranged the prompt delivery of a 21 tonne Komatsu excavator to the site that same night. By 4:00am, the machine was in position and the river was cleared, allowing the works to progress safely and without delay.

This type of responsive, out-of-hours service is part of our ongoing commitment to supplying our customers with a service they deserve across the utility, civil engineering, and infrastructure sectors. With depot coverage across the UK and a fleet of modern, reliable equipment, we’re able to support urgent projects wherever and whenever needed.

Special thanks to Nu City Comms Ltd for providing images from site and our Bathgate team for their prompt and efficient response to this out-of-hours call.
